We believe an agricultural Journal shoul<l trnai of ae- 

 rlcalture not gossip and politics. 



We believe it should be pracliml and treat of u^mts in 

 due season: not tfll how to cut wheat la winter iiiid flu 

 the ice-h<mse in sunimcr. 



We believe a giwd paper at a low price, like " ftiB 

 Fabm AKD Oabdkm." is better than a poor paper at a 

 bleprice. 



W8 believe a paper should not swindle its readers or 

 allow them to beawioiliedby humbug advertisers. 



We believe the reader, when lie sees a good thing 

 knows It and. when he sees a good paper, he will take it 



We believe the reader will appreciate our labor and 

 ellorts to pleaae him and his subscriptions will prove 

 his appreciation to the poor printer. 



We believe you will write and tell us so. 



We believe a "wise person knows what to do next." 

 We also believe a wise person will take a twenty-page 

 paper, already bound and stitched, before one of sixteen 

 pages, which a "wise man" must cut and stitch for him-

PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY 



To prevent mistakes. Give plainly, always, the 

 full name of the writer, with County and State 

 where the paper is to be sent, and not the one 

 trom whence the letter was written. It Is well to 

 write Jthe address in full on the outside of the 

 envelope, with the Post Office, County, and .State, 

 for If the Post Office mark Is not plain, or the 

 name is indistinct, another chance is given to 

 And the name correctly and get the correct 

 address. We often get letters with money, with 

 no address of County or even State : at times with 

 no name at all, much less County and State. 

 Sometimes we get lett.irs with the names of two 

 poet offices In it. Always sign full name, as John 

 Smith, not J. .Smith, for there may be a dozen by 

 the same initial J., and they might get your 

 paper. If you have a t)Ox. give vour box number 

 with your address. Qive the exiiot name of Post 

 Office, Thus, a paper addressed Conkling Centre 

 would not go to Conkling, as the Post Office 

 department would call it unmailable, because 

 there was no Conkling Centre in the State. The 

 Post t^ffice address must be correct. Be particu- 

 lar In all these points. A letter will often carry 

 when a paper may not, for a Post Office employe 

 dare not cast aside a letter with a defective, 

 address as he could do with a paper. 



The Fakm and Qardk.v /» practical, and has 

 practical jnen and women to ufrite for it in their 

 various departments, and give the result of practi- 

 cat experience in every day life. Especial attention 

 vUl altmiys be given the various farming indus- 

 tries, and gardening;. Much attention is given 

 to the results of experiments in new seeds and 

 plants in cultivation. Fertilizers will becarefulli/ 

 considered, and their material value considered, 

 tJtis department will be a valuable one. We believe 

 the garden and fruit growing interests of our 

 country have not received proper attention, and we 

 propose to fully illustrate new and valuable fruits 

 <u they are introduced in the market, as icell as the 

 ntost valuable of the old varieties. We are free to 

 toy we have no interest in the sale of any fruit or 

 vegetable we notice in onr columns, ror do we pro- 

 pose to have any. We believe it to ■.« oitr duty if
